Childhood Match
Will You Marry Me

"Oh my goodness, Ga.. does the world exist, the perfect girl?" ask Alena, curious.

Again Gala just smelled her sweet smile.

"IIihhhh... Just a smile?" Alena was curious. Although for years he knew Gala, but until now he had never even heard of the man approaching a girl.

"Yaaa.." replied Gala briefly.

"Who, dong Ga... When you didn't tell me the same story? Definitely not me, huh?" Alena again asked, although a little disappointed because she could guess that she did not belong to the Gala criteria.

"When the time comes, you are the first person I give this glad tidings to. Because you know what? You're like my own sister." Gala's final answer was obvious to Alena.

Although she wanted to feel Alena shed tears, but as much as possible she could bear. He did not want their long-standing friendship to be shattered in one night. He must try to deny his feelings for Gala. The night is getting late. Their conversation ended there, as did Alena. However, the question Alena now asks, who is the lucky girl? Who can conquer the heart of a Manggala Krishna? Handsome lecturers who are sholeh, kind, patient, mature, authoritative, civil, also affectionate with family.

To the next day after the dawn prayer, Alena again pulled the blanket. The cold air at the top of Sumbing made him powerless to get out of the room too early. Even his intention to watch the sunrise was unable to defeat the cold and drowsiness. Especially after hearing directly from Gala's answer last night, making it difficult to close your eyes to rest.

Although Gendhis had tried to wake the beautiful girl who was several years older than him, Alena's eyelids remained closed. It was hard for his eyeballs to enjoy a ray of sunshine. Finally, Gendhis let Alena enjoy her morning rest in the homestay.

"Assalamu'alaikum.good morning, Mr. Gala.." said Gendhis kindly to Gala who was sitting enjoying the beautiful sunrise from the top of the substation.

Gala was surprised to be happy, early in the morning already got greetings and gentle greetings from special girls. He hoped not only this morning, even when he opened his eyelids every morning, the first one he saw was Gendhis. But it seemed, he had to be patient until that time would come.

"Waalaikumsalam... Dis. Ye? Is this Dis?" Gala was stunned to find that Gendhis had been sitting not far from his seat.

"This, I bring the original Javanese tea typical of Sumbing slopes for Mr. Gala. Please try to keep it warm." replied Gendhis while offering a cup of java tea on the table.

How happy Gala's heart was with the treatment of Gendhis. He soared a little, it turned out that Gendhis was so considerate. Especially in the midst of cold air that penetrates the skin, it is very suitable to enjoy a cup of warm tea.

"Thank you, ... Dis. I try yaaa." said Gala while taking a cup of hot tea and then he drank.

Gendhis smiled amusedly at Gala's facial expression shortly after drinking it. Gendhis could have thought that would happen. The handsome face turned strange as Gala furrowed her eyebrows as if she had a taste in her mouth that did not match her expectations.

"Gala sir why?" asked Gendhis without feeling guilty as if he was pranking his lecturer.

"Tack... Dis. You forgot about sugar? What... lest you want to know me huh?" tanya Gala was still holding a white ceramic cup.

Like a tutorial, Gendhis also explained to Gala how to enjoy a cup of Javanese tea typical of the cleft slope.

"Sir Lecturer Gala. I know you are very excited to try my tea, but that is not the way to enjoy it" said Gendhis.

"Ohhh.... huh??? Then, like what?" Gala was not surprised to see the behavior of Gendhis. At the beginning of their meeting, Gendhis gave the impression that she was a smart girl, caring for others, and happy to help others with her innocence. Only since his relationship with Lintang began to crack did he turn into a more reserved figure.

"Look..." Gendhis tried to explain.

And Gala. Therefore, he solemnly observed every word of Gendhis.

Gala was stunned to see Gendhis that morning. Her eyelids are too fond to blink. What made his heart happy was that he felt that Gendhis was now back as he had when Gala first knew him. His smile, his attitude, seemed more loose no longer restrained because of the burden in his heart.

"Ohhh.. that's not to say. I'm trying now." Gala just follow what Gendhis says, and it turns out to be true. Java tea combined with typical Javanese sugar Borobudur it really has an extraordinary taste.

"Where do you feel sir?" ask Genthis.

"Hheeemm. It feels so unique. This is the first time I've tried, and I love it. Tomorrow I might be able to enjoy a cup of tea almost every day." said Gala reflex immediately made Gendhis wonder.

"meaning?" Gendhis paused for a moment as he sipped the cup of tea.

Gala also became salting and as much as possible he was trying to organize his soul and body to be able to talk to Gendhis calmly. Focusing on one point, Gendhis, Gala spoke as her eyes fell on the sunlight slowly peering out from behind the white cloud. He did not want to linger staring at the face of Gendhis because surely the girl would bow down in shame. He also does not want his passions to defeat his common sense. Finally, gathering all his courage, Gala said.

"You want to know what that means?" Gala asked back.

"If you think it's important to me to know, just say it." replied Gendhis.

"alright... Bismilbornrahmanirrahim's... Gendhis, marry me!" pinta Gala pleaded.

Hearing Gala's words, Gendhis body trembled for a moment. The cold heat mixed into one, not knowing if he was in a dreamland? The girl instead of answering Gala's question pinched her own cheek with her right finger.

"Okay, sick." said Gendhis lirih.

Looking at Gendhis's innocent behavior Gala said, "Gendhis... What are you doing?"

"I'm dreaming, or is it Gala sir?" Genphis asked back.

"To be able to bring you together in the guarantee feels like a dream to me, but if it's just a dream, then I'll choose not to wake up from my sleep. So that I can live forever with you. But it's a reality that I have to fight for." Gala explained.

"I do not understand the meaning of the Father's words." replied Gendhis no rahu should say what.

"Gendhis..I really mean it.., marry me and be the most important part of my life! I can't promise anything, because I'm not good at promises. I just want to try to give you happiness that you have never felt before" Gala said seriously.

Hearing the word married to Gendhis was like a specter that haunted his life. The pain of the failure of his marriage to Lintang on the night of his wedding party made Gendhis reluctant to think to love other men even married. I don't know when the trauma will end in her life.

With a flash of lightning, Gendhis got up from his seat and walked away from Gala without saying a word. Gala did not try to prevent the girl from leaving. He knew very well how Gendhis felt. It wasn't easy for him to convince Gendhis. But as far as he could, Gala would struggle to gain Gendhis heart and remove the wounds in his heart.

"Gendhis... Where are you going?" alena asked as she passed Gendhis who hurriedly left Gala.

Genphis said nothing. He immediately went into the homestay to pack his things and came out in a hurry.

"Sorry, I can't wait until Alena comes home. Excuse me for going home first. Assalamu'alaikum.." said Gendhis to Alena.

"Waalaikumsalam.." replied Alena astonished to see the attitude of Gendhis who turned strange after talking to his best friend. He felt the need to interrogate what he had done to the student.
